"Anthem" took place in a futuristic civilization. The book was about a society who were all equal and exactly the same until one brave person named Equality 7-2521 thought outside the box, something that has not been done in a while. It was very confusing to read at times but in the end everything ties together and all your questions get answered.
The story began in a place called Home of the Students. There Equality 7-2521 learned just like all the other young students. Later on he completed his education and was sent to the Council of Vocations.
